CARBON DIOXIDE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION:
NAFFCO Carbon Dioxide extinguishing system is designed in
accordance to NFPA 12 and listed by UL. It is engineered for total
flooding with the protection of machinery spaces, pump rooms
and cargo holds and with a local protection of smaller spaces
The CO₂ fire suppression system shall be activated by
pneumatically / manually. When the master CO₂ cylinder activated,
the slave CO₂ cylinders also activated without any time delay.
ADVANTAGES:
• Density is 1.5 times higher than air so it displaces air.
• Non Corrosive
• Electrically Non-conductor
such as Paint Locker, Purifier Room, Galley Exhaust Duct etc. The
number of CO₂ cylinders is calculated according to the size of the
largest protected area. Smoke Detection System can also include
in the CO₂ System.
At the same time, alarm is activated to warn personnel in the area.
CO₂ gas is discharged into the space with the designed duration.
• No residues left after application
• No deterioration with age.
• It can be liquefied and bottled.

CONSTANT FLOW & PRESSURE DISCHARGE REGULATOR

The pressure regulator modulates the discharge pressure to a
constant pressure, which still delivers the extinguishing agent
up to 120 seconds, but with significant performance and cost
benefits. It prevents discharge freeze-up and explosive force of
discharge. Low-pressure manifolds and pipework can be used -
that means lower costs.

After a system discharge, no reconditioning of the pressure

regulator is necessary. Functional tests are possible even while
the system is armed. The pressure regulator is screwed with a
gasket on the discharge port of the valve.

DISCHARGE NOZZLE
Discharge nozzles are made of brass in four different sizes, for
different application. Nozzles are available with a connection
thread R1", R½" and R¾" and can be screwed into every fitting
corresponding to the pressure stage and the thread. Orifice
design to particular requirement with computer aided calculation
to assure the effectiveness of extinguishing agent and reliable
system design.

The nozzle is used to discharge the agent from the cylinder

through piping network to the enclosed hazard volume. The
nozzle selection depends on the hazard and location to be
protected. The nozzle has to be mounted at the ceiling level with
the orifice tip pointed vertically down. The nozzle outlet must
point downwards to distribute the extinguishing agent effectively
and to prevent pollution. The discharge pattern of the nozzle shall
be 360° & 180°.

The nozzle distributes the extinguishing agent evenly in the

extinguishing zone in the calculated flooding time. Nozzles are
designed to direct the discharge of inert gas using the stored
pressure from the cylinders.

flooding zone and reduces the total amount of agent and number of
cylinders required.

The Selector Valve body is available in carbon steel. Selector valve is

a ball valve that control the flow of Inert gas through the piping network
until the valve is activated either by manually or electrically. The actuation
pressure for the selector valve is 8-10 bar pressure. Each Selector Valve is
